SW= 157
GW= 150

REALLY need to be in the 140's by April (aka my birthday, friends wedding).
REALLY REALLY need to be in the low 140's by May (college graduation)

I am going to be below 225 by the end of March!

Hey all!!

First...jessicado it's fantastic to see you again and OMG you're headed for onederland! You're doing so well! And your photo looks amazing!!! Way to go you!

Second... My friend is staying an extra week and so I'm setting a goal of 3 lbs for March. I know, right? It seems low but frankly, I've been lucky to maintain lately the way I've been eating and I fear it's not really going to improve until my friend leaves. That being said, I also am pushing my return to running back one more week. The chiropractor was just last week able to get my back into proper position and I cannot bear to chance messing it up again by returning to running so soon.

Official Goal: Lose 3 lbs, that would make me 171,

Good morning and thank goodness it's a new month!
I fell off the wagon--HARD.

Life's been crazy and everyone's been sick--including me. I'm still not 100% (sinuses are killing me!) but I'm determined to get my eating under control.

Goal for this month:

Drink my water EVERY day
Get back on plan food-wise
Exercise at least 3X a week
Modest goals this month, no specific weight goal--I just need to focus on getting things back in order diet & exercise wise and I'll take whatever loss comes. I will also check in daily, but I may not post my usual massive personals--I need to step away from the computer as that's been an issue lately.

I think I'm needing a medication tweeking, my emotions have been all over the board and I'm finding myself turning to food again. Sigh...I won't give up though--I WILL overcome this!

Good luck everyone and have a great month!!!

Hello All,

I'm starting today..... Yipee...So I weighed in at 223.2lbs...my goal is 190lbs

Just got on the scale.
My SW is 187.6
I'm changing my goal though I want to see 179!! I miss the 170's!

Rabbit rabbit.

I didn't make goal last month, but 196 finally left the screen on the scale, so I was happy enough to see 195.2 this morning (2.2 pounds from goal).

I have house guests for a big beer and oyster festival mid month, and I PLAN to be off plan for at least one of those days. Huh?

My goal for the month is to be at 183, which is a loss of 12.2 pounds. I'll be happy with 10, but am hoping to get rid of the 2.2 I was short for February.

March...forward and downward!

I love to read everyone's posts they are really inspiring..

Hi Girls!
I too fell off hard.....but here we are back at the start. One of these darn times it is gonna work! All I know is if I am not a regular on this site, things have a way of getting out of control. So my goal is
eat between 1800-2200 calories daily. Ill take what weight loss comes. I am starting out at 217 today.......Good luck all!

Sounds great.. We have to support each other

Happy March Ladies!

First, before I forget, my goal is to maintain under 140, MsP you were my inspiration for this one. I was looking back at measurements and realized that I'm losing inches and not weight at this point so I can't very well shoot for a certain number anymore, I'm just going to shoot for less butt giggle instead. In the last two weeks, I lost a 1/2 inch each off my waist, thighs, hips and calves but weight about 2lbs more than my lowest weight so I will take that two inches off and never mind the 2lbs, since that means muscle and higher BMR.

Howdy to the new ladies, come check in often so we can cheer you on and lift your spirits if you need.

And welcome back lovely challenge ladies of the past, Jessicado, woohoo, it rhythms, lol, that's awesome. And Sandye a for you cuz you're amazing, your determination to get through this has helped me so much with my little bingy bingy issue in January too, you'll never know.

Off to get some vegetable refills for the fridge and good news, got a 98% on my muscle exam for human anatomy, I'm kind of super proud of myself so I thought I'd share, lol. It was hard and that mark made me happy. Now I've got a whole bunch of research stuff to do for some projects and then sign up for the next batch of classes, why am I doing this again, lol? Oh right, I remember the betterment of self and the ability to train others to achieve healthy, happy selves as well. I should write that on my fridge so I don't forget. The reasons I'm becoming a personal trainer are...

I need to do it!
